1. Some insurers will insure the courtesy car that we provide you, whilst your car is on site with us. We will advise you accordingly. This means your own insurance policy excess will apply along with your insurers terms and conditions.

2. The excess for you to be covered under our insurance is £600 for each claim for damage caused to our courtesy car. This also includes glass damage.You may provide your own insurance for our courtesy car, but we must have a cover note from your insurance company and the car must be covered by a fully comprehensive policy. A cover note must be faxed to us on 01892 513274 or emailed to scott.wenn@pkmotors.co.uk

3.Courtesy Cars are expected to be returned with the same amount of fuel as stated on the rental agreement. Cars returned with significantly less fuel will be charged to you at £12+ VAT per quarter of a tank. If the car is fitted with a digital fuel gauge it will be charged at £6+ VAT per bar

4. Mileage restrictions do apply to our cars, based on an average of 50 miles per day, and a charge of 20 pence per mile thereafter (on our insurance).

If you are taking the car into a congestion zone or low emission zone, you will be fully liable for any charges made against the courtesy car and it is your responsibility to ensure all charges are paid to the relevant authorities. This also includes, but not limited to, any parking, speeding or toll fines. We strongly recommend that any fines or costs incurred against our courtesy car are paid promptly, As PK Motors lease the courtesy cars and the leasing company add an administration fee of at least £25 + VAT to each fine incurred. PK Motors will make a similar charge and will recover all costs through the courts if necessary.

If we have to replace/repair a tyre on your behalf, a charge of £25 + VAT will be added to the final bill.

9. We have a strict policy of NO SMOKING OR ANIMALS in our courtesy cars. It is now also illegal to smoke in the cars and breaking these rules will result in a £65 + VAT valet charge, payable at the time the car is returned.

10. We do understand that it is not always possible to clean the courtesy cars before you hand the car back, but we do provide the cars clean and ask that the cars are kept clean whilst in your possession, as they may need to go straight to another customer. If it is returned so dirty that we cannot check it for damage i.e. scratches, a cleaning fee of £20 + VAT will be payable to us upon return / handover. Any new damage found once cleaned will lead to a claim on your insurance. Note: (Spa Car Wash) is situated at the beginning of our road.
